Wearing the Inside Out
chords by Karl Magnacca


     Cm                 Gm
Dm                     F
Didn't recognize I'd become
   Cm                  Gm
No more than alive I'd barely survive
Dm              F
In a word...overrun

             Gm            Dm
Won't hear a sound from my mouth
               Gm                 Dm
I've spent too long on the inside out
           Gm                Dm
My skin is cold to the human touch
              Gm                  Dm    F
This bleeding heart's not beating much

  Cm                Gm
I murmured a vow of silence and now
Dm                              F
I don't even hear when I think aloud
  Cm                    Gm
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Dm                              F
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

Ab
I'm creeping back to life
   G
My nervous system all awry
Ab                     Bb
I'm wearing the inside out

Cm                    Gm
Look at him now, he's paler somehow
Dm                 F
  But he's coming around
     Cm                              Gm
He's starting to choke, it's been so long since he spoke
Dm                                       F
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

               Gm          Dm
And with these words I can see
                  Gm                  Dm
Clear through the clouds that covered me
             Gm                 Dm
Just give it time then speak my name
           Gm              Dm
Now we can hear ourselves again

            Gm          Dm
I'm holding out for the day
               Gm                Dm
When all these clouds have blown away
             Gm                  Dm
I'm with you now, can speak your name
           Gm             Dm    F  Bb
Now we can hear ourselves again
